Liked: Even though it could be a bit far from the town area but I generally think that it is a good distance for walking after dinner or so, the room and common area is amazingly clean(I don't mind walking barefoot in and out of the room) and fully equipped, the staff were also kind enough to also made a file to list down the things to look out for in that area and the key attraction of malacca.
Streets at night could be a bit scary and dark, alt me and my friend took a longer walk along the main street to avoid the dark ally, in the daytime is good to use as a shortcut to jonker or shopping malls which is very convenient.
Nearby the guest house there are also nice food to eat especially morning (which is just opposite the guest house) and place to buy your gift and snack for your friends and relative.

Disliked: To be honest nothing at all!!!

Liked: This is our third stay at Tony's Guesthouse and it just gets better and better! The location is as great as I remember. Walking distance to decent food choices, Little India, a major shopping centre with a cinema, the weekend night markets and the famous Capitol Satay House! Tony's breakfast is still fabulous and now he's making his own bread - gawds my waistline is suffering after everything I ate! This is a great little place to stay at an amazing price! You'll love Tony and his wife!

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: The location is perfect. It's not in the humble of chinatown but close enough to wander around. The breakfast on offer (which is excluded of the price) is wide and yummy. The stuff is helpful and offers rides to the bus station for only 15rm instead of 20-25rm like taxis. Even though there was obly one shower and one toilet for 3rooms, it was the cleanest i've seen a bathroom to share.

Disliked: The walls aren't thick enough, so you can hear everything that's going on on the street and in front of your room (some kind of lounge are). In the middle of the night someone knocked on our door or nearly ran in our room, which frightened us a bit since we were asleep. We had to share one blanket, which was even too small for one person. But with the heat it was ok.

Liked: Close enough to all the sites without being in the centre with all the noise. Very cute rooms - basic, but everything you need and CLEAN! The friendliest owner - nothing is too much trouble, and although breakfast isn't included in the price, there is a cafe downstairs with a very good range of food for good prices

Liked: Staying there for just 1 night but everything is so good. Best thing I like about Tony's Guesthouse is the extremely friendly attitude of the staff as well as their helpful guides. I required a taxi to go to the Melaka Sentral and Tony gave us a drive himself with only 15RM as taxi there is quite difficult to catch in a short amount of time. The room is nice and cozy that is everything I ask for a place to sleep. From the guesthouse its just a roughly 5 minute walk to the Red Square and Jonker Walk where you can spend whole evening for shopping and food experiencing. Theres a night market in China Town every Friday and other days that I dont remember and tbh, "foody heaven has came to earth" is to describe such place.

Liked: Secure property and very friendly staff.
Best part: Located only a minute walk from Satay Celup!

Disliked: Rooms had a lingering odor and mattresses seemed quite old. One mattress was propped up by cardboard and sunk in the middle.
The shower only had a trickle of water coming out. But since it is very cheap to stay, you get what you pay for.

Liked: Tony and his wife were very helpful and friendly, Although there was no free breakfast we did buy the breakfast from Tony one morning and it was delicious. Good price.

Disliked: Had to pay an extra 12Ringgit a night for air-con. On our final night we discovered Bed Bugs- we stayed in room A1 Ko Tao, We told Tony so believe the problem will be getting sorted, was a great shame as apart from this it was a great hostel.

Liked: Tony makes Tony's Guesthouse the great place that it is. Whoever left that he was grumpy in their review obviously didn't take two seconds to talk to him. He is funny and well travelled and will give you any information you need about Malacca and the surrounding areas. The guesthouse is just what you would expect for the price. Comfy and homey. Tony's breakfasts are to die for. Laundry service is reasonably prices and the guesthouse is in a great location - just a short walk to Chinatown, a shopping mall, McDonalds and Cinema. There is loads of cheap food in the area so you won't blow your budget too!! We loved Malacca but most of all we loved Tony! Take the time to talk to him and ask questions - you'll be glad you did!

Liked: Close to tourist sites. Hot water boiler, glasses, and utensils in kitchen.

Disliked: Around 5:00 am, I would hear some kind of hammer noises outside. Not sure what it was. It was off and on for a bit and then ended. If you're asleep, it shouldn't bother you.

Liked: The place was very home-ly and different from typical plain hotels. The doors, walls, and paintings were all hand-painted by Tony in a unique and colourful manner. It was also quite clean, and the beds were either very comfortable or we were very tired but we had a good night's rest.

Disliked: For security reasons, we had to lock the gate to the hostel everytime we entered and left the hostel. It was less convenient than using a coded card to open or close a hotel room's door.
